Energy Bill Relief Fund

2024-25

The Australian Government has announced that all Australian households will receive up to $300 and eligible small businesses up to $325 to help with the cost of their energy bills in the financial year 2024-25.

In most cases, your electricity provider will automatically apply the bill relief to your electricity account every quarter on or after the census dates.

• The rebate will be applied on an account-basis (i.e. one rebate per customer account). Electricity customer accounts with multiple meters (i.e. multiple addresses connected under the same name) are eligible to receive the rebate once.
• For eligible households in an embedded network where you receive your electricity from your strata or landlord in a caravan park, apartment building or retirement home or village, you will need to complete the application form below. This will be a once-off payment of $300.
• Small businesses in embedded networks must have a relationship with a retailer to be eligible for the rebate (i.e. separately billed or invoiced by an ACT retailer who can apply the relief if the eligibility requirements are met). This will be a one-off payment of $325.

Household and small business eligibility will be determined for each payment on the following census dates:

• Quarter 1 – 31 July 2024
• Quarter 2 – 1 October 2024
• Quarter 3 – 1 January 2025
• Quarter 4 – 1 April 2025
